OVERALL COURSE OBJECTIVE:
SUPTFC-TX is designed to provide CAP Cadets with a realistic view of USAF SUPT. In one week’s time the CAP cadet will experience as much of what a prospective USAF pilot candidate experiences in 52 weeks of training. This course is not a base tour. However (time permitting), we will attempt to tour other facilities, teach a little bit about Air Force life, and allow the cadets to meet with other career fields to discuss future possibilities. Some of the key subject areas are as follows;
Simulator and flight training is dependent on availability
and USAF Student Pilot training timeline. Academics are taught by SUPTFC staff. Hands-on training involves attending actual classes (mostly Aerospace Physiology classes) being taught to USAFSUPT students and either actually
performing some of the training (if feasible) or observing the training.
